Cross Country Trip

Dad and I got the car all loaded up and said our goodbyes to family and friends on Saturday. All started off well until we stopped at McDonald's for breakfast and the worker was a mutant to me. She wouldn't allow me to use the menu any longer (why you say? Good question) so we only had half an order and had to drive away and find a Burger King. This took 45 minutes because all we could find were more McDonald's (which were boycotted for obvious reasons).
From here we headed on to Wyoming and this was interesting...... There were times we thought "how pretty" and other times I was looking for a match to light it up. When we passed the "Get Nailed Nail Salon" I was searching for that match hard :). Nebraska was cool and we had the the best steak dinner either of us have ever had!! Lunch the next day was equally amazing!!
Iowa felt a lot like Nebraska and the lack of mountains was a quite weird!!
Chicago was AMAZING!! We went to the skydeck at Sears Tower (now called Willis Tower apparently) and it was sooooooo amazing! The view was fantastic and the skydeck was unreal. They are glass windows built out of the building and you are standing on glass 1300 feet above the city!! I will post the pictures once we are all settled. The Chicago style pizza was the best pizza either of us have ever had also! Undescribable! We took a double decker bus tour and really enjoyed the city feel. We are already saying we need to fly back and visit again!
On the way out of Chicago we got lost.... then we made it to Indiana and got lost again....
We got on track and paid our toll booth fee but found out we were on the wrong road once again... so we stopped for some ice cream :)
We are now in South Bend Indiana in a nice and clean hotel room and are anxiously anticipating going to Notre Dame in the morning and then on to Clevland Ohio!!
There have been many hysterical laughters and good times! I only wish I could write all the great stuff we have seen and done. This is proving to be a fantastic trip.
Can't wait to see Bryce!!

Bags are packed

The movers came yesterday and loaded everything up! It was weird and lots of odd things happened but it is done none the less. Thank goodness Christopher was there to help me and witness yesterdays moving dilemmas!! Dad and I are on the road this Saturday!! Some of you have already made bets as to when we will get arrested... we will see who wins!!

Bryce is doing well in PA. He is soo excited to get me there and have more in his house than an air mattress and a fork!! Can't wait to see him :)
